I guess it depends on what processing you need to do. Stuff like adding two numbers together can be easily done in JavaScript, so pushing that up to the server doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But the Calc example is a toy, and I wouldn't necessarily extrapolate from that.
I think the key is to use the local processing for maintaining a responsive user experience and a good looking app. Doing XML processing in a GWT client is as ill-advised as performing 3+4 in a servlet. How do vaadin's data tables stack up against the stuff in 2.1? The examples I looked at in M2 were awkward to work with and I was planning to try some load testing on vaadin later this week. Maybe someone could save me a few hours work by pointing me at some realistic examples. On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 10:26 AM, Stefan Bachert <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would avoid vaadin.
